Zbrush on the iPad - Cloth Dynamics

[@crispalomino]

Oh, thanks for covering this, Glen! Very helpful, indeed.

[@FerchoCoral]

can u create uv in this zbrush?

[@ronaldbell7429]

Thanks for the video. These are really nifty brushes. I'm noodling with the free version, but it's nice to see these tools from the subscription side. Very tempting.

[@deathofthemagi]

Thanks. Hope you make a full course. I just dropped $2800 on an ipad pro with all the upgrades and accessories specifically for this. I prefer my s9+ and will still use it for everything other then zbrush, so i am very keen to learn to use this software.

Hey Glen. ✊ Thanks for your evenhanded response to the subscription thing. 🙏 You turned me on to Nomad & have championed it’s value. These are power tools, and they all have value…some are favorites. As a carpenter, if I could pay $100/year for access to a set of power tools, whenever I needed them…that’s not a bad deal. ZBrush is no slouch…but Nomad is my girl! ✌️🍷🎩🎩🎩🥸

Would all of this work okay on the new Ipad air ?

[@juanp.5364]

Ok, subscribed

[@MrJustwatchin9]

Is it possible to do a short on how to import reference images on the floor planes like in the skull reference on the sample projects. Or any other method for importing reference if there is any.

I would be curious to see how you pose the same model in Zbrush vs Nomad Sculpt.

Hi, i would Love to sculpt my Favorite Charakters from movies and Games, for 3d printing, i own nomad and the zbrush free Version, what would suit my needs better in the Long run? Awesome Videos Love your content❤

What is this weird desk under the tablet?

[@3DAirWave]

Again zbrush beats nomad here

[@dwintster]

I'm tempted to try the subscription

[@MrJustwatchin9]

I bit the bullet and subscribed and I’m happy and frustrated about it. I’ve tried most of the features and like them but it gets very time consuming to master them. The learning curve with the ui is still steep but less frustrating than the desktop version. I remember being somewhat overwhelmed with nomad when I started learning it but the frustration level is tripled in zbrush. But I’m starting to understand the logic behind its setup and it’s growing on me. If you 3d model on mobile strictly then I’d also keep nomad as zbrush doesn’t have the rendering capabilities that nomad has. Hope that helps.

[@dwintster]

@MrJustwatchin9 actually my start was Solidworks, my background in Industrial Design, but I love designing characters and creatures and sculpting in Nomad. Since I started selling some of the 3d prints of my sculpts, I might bite the bullet as well if it will make things easier. I'm still holding on, though.

[@MrJustwatchin9]

@@dwintster oh man then that’s a no brainier. Nomad is more simplified but if you’re already familiar with zbrush then you have much of the features already in the package. Now if you’re already subscribed to zbrush you can activate your license in the app so no need to pay extra. But yea I’m aiming to become more efficient with this app and if all goes well I’ll bite the grenade and get the desktop sub. There’s still some key features missing from the desktop that I’m gonna need so I’m tempted to give it a year and deal with is shortcomings.

[@JimmyNuisance]

@@dwintster I'd say that if you like making characters, Zspheres is pretty amazing. If Nomad had something equivalent, then Nomad would be pretty much perfect. It's just a bit too clumsy making a full character without some form of posing abilities to get started with. The price just to get access to Zspheres is pretty nuts though, so if it is worth it for you or not is up to you. I bought a year sub cause I kinda want to learn it but I don't want to feel rushed. Don't feel great about the money I spent, but overall I kinda liked the free version enough that I decided I'm going to learn this thing. Live Booleans are also awesome for me cause I do some 3d printing of gaming peripherals etc, which zbrush is going to help a LOT with in that respect. Still.. damn it's expensive..

[@roofoofighter]

Thanks Glenn! Seems like a cool feature. A couple of thoughts: 1. I realize it’s just a demo video, but I think a round table cloth is better suited for a circular table so you don’t get those pointy corners hanging down. A square or rectangular tablecloth is for square or rectangular tables. It's about aesthetics. There are actually mathematical formulas to determine the best size tablecloth for a table, if you can believe it. 🤣 2. If you’re a cheapskate like me 😜 Blender has these cloth simulation features and dynamic cloth brushes for sculpting too. Granted, Blender’s not an iPad app, but there are screen mirroring apps that support sculpting with an Apple Pencil on the iPad. 3. I never understood the Zbrush nomenclature of Tools and Subtools. Why aren't they called Objects like in most 3D apps? 🤷‍♂To me, a Tool is what you are using to modify or manipulate an object, just like real-life tools. Artists don’t carve a real marble sculpture with a chisel and say “look at this Subtool I made!” That wouldn't make sense.

[@darkcult99]

👍

[@JimmyNuisance]

My table cloth keeps falling straight through the table.. No idea how this is happening because everything is (from what I can tell) set up to be physical objects that should collide. They just don't. If I figure it out I'll report back, if not.. please help :D Update: Got it to work, no idea what I did...

[@aroid_artist]

I don’t think I made it clear enough that everything needs to be polymesh3d. I’ll do a little explainer video by way of apology.

[@JimmyNuisance]

@@aroid_artist I think that might be what I did wrong. It's such a typical newbie mistake in all sorts of apps like this and game engines etc.. I bet one of the most asked questions for 3d physics is "why does my X fall through the Y?" :D
